> AI seems antithetical to the hacker ethic

I disagree, chatbots are arguably best for hacks: dodgy kludged-up software that works if you don't sneeze on it, but accomplishes whatever random thing I wanted to get done. They're a great tool for hackers.

A bunch of clueless managers are going to fall for the hype and try and lean on the jank machine to solve problems which aren't suitable to a quick hack, and will live to regret it. Ok, who am I kidding, most of them are going to fail up. But a bunch of still-employed hackers will curse their name, while cashing the fat paycheck they're earning for cleaning up the mess.
